GASOLINE SOLUTION!
The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the
favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS.
Every time you fill up
the
car, you can avoid putting more money into the
coffers of Saudi Arabia.
Just
buy from gas companies that don't import their oil
from the Saudis.
every time I fill-up
the tank, I am sending my money to people who are
trying to kill me, my
family, and my friends. I thought it might be
interesting for you to
know which
oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which
major companies
import
Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 -
8/31/01):

Shell............................205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.........144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil................130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway...117,740,000 barrels
Amoco.........................62,231,000 barrels

Here are some large companies that do not import
Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo....................0 barrels
Sunoco............. ..0 barrels
Conoco........... ..0 barrels
Sinclair............... 0 barrels
BP/Phillips.. 0 barrels
Hess...................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the
Department of Energy and
each is required to state where they get their oil
and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in your car;
share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism.............

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas

It sounds good in theory but those companies also employ tens of thousands of Americans in this country too.

Plus Venezuala is second to Columbia in the kidnapping of American businessmen.

 

This is the same email that has been floating around for some time.
Its not even realistic to to what is suggested.

Some of the companies have commingled since this was written. Just put a
search into google and start doing some real research and a pattern will
develop in corporation between the companies.

I know what I am going to do is keep right on buying oil stocks as an
investment. They are historicly cheap on 10 year chart patterns, the
dividends look great compared to money market funds. The oil stocks that
I watch are near there 52 week lows.

Don't fight them.

Buy them.

Are the only stations I have here and they are sticking it to us

Regular (87) $1.98
Mid grade (89) $ 2.02
Premium (92) $ 2.06

 

Its never been proven that oil companies are gouging anyone.

 

well they may not be gouging us but how can it go up and down 10 cents in a day? one day its 1.74 next is 1.64, i wish if they are gonna raise it they would atleast stick to it instead of playing this game. i figure what they are trying to do is raise in incriments until the cheapest is 2.00

 

My first thought on that is I would think its your local market if its going up and down like that daily.

 

they go up and down so that when it does go back down they can raise a little and hope nobody realizes that it went up.

 

I worked in the oil bussines for over 20 yrs and fromwhat I have seen is the distributers are where the main increases come from.Look back to 1983 oil was $35+ a barrel and gas was around $1 to $1.20 now look at it.Where is the differance at?Today oild is $31 and gas is $1.70+ who is getting shafted or rich?All we can do is buy it or not ,but if we can cut back and conserve it will hurt them where it could go down to where it belongs $1.10 to $1.25 range.It al boils down to supply and demand they got it we want it.
